"The Beach Boys' 'Sunflower' Commercial and Artistic Flaw: No Mike Love Uptempo Rockers

20/20 had "Do It Again". Surf's Up had "Student Demonstration Time". Even the supposedly unique Pet Sounds had Mike Love lead vocals on almost half of the rock 'n roll vocal songs. Sunflower offered a rich tapestry of Beach Boys songwork and vocal excursions, except for the band's most important gift to the world: the uptempo Mike Love rocker."

Lowkey don’t disagree with this lol

Although Mike has the best song on the album in All I Wanna Do, guy literally invented Tame Impala’s discography with that track alone

the merit goes to brians songwritting and production for this song and its legacy, it’s brians composition, mike love vocals (although for once beautiful and definitely one of his best) and penned lyrics aren’t key to it by any means

Did he actually write/produce this one? I seem to remember hearing that Brian was getting a lot of credit for songs he had very little input on, because Capitol wanted a certain % of tracks to have a Brian Wilson writing credit

I seem to remember that Brian obsessively wrote and worked on This Whole World and Good Time from these sessions

here’s a beautiful song you might havnt heard brian did for his wife band in 1972 this is right around the corner of where production was changing and the work he did here is amazing, incredible balance of his usual stuff (notice like the little snare rolls during the verses, very brian arrangement and production like youd get on pet sounds) in a more.. airy almost prog style, only to switch back on very doowop classic brian choruses, great work and it is our best look at what could’ve been if brian hadn’t completely shut away during the 70s before the album love you ofc, would’ve been perfect fit on surfs up tbh

@RVI not sure why this punk album has a pet sounds cover but it’s cool and maybe will feed your punk curiosity? it’s from 1996
